Teachers have begun to use the Book Creator app to publish student work in an epub format. This format allows readers to open an ebook in the ibooks app on an ipad or in the Readium Chrome desktop app. This user-friendly app allows students to insert saved images and video, text, draw visuals, and record audio. The full version ipad app is currently $4.99, but users can download the free version to try it. The free version is limited to one published book.
